All the pumpkins look good this morning except for the fact that they're now wearing lacy leaves. A few cucumber beetles and squash bugs are munching on them, but they don't seem aware of the fact that those leaves are filled with cackle, cackle deadly poison. I took away the partially amputated leaves. The hail didn't damage the vines as much as I feared. One secondary seems to be split. Will wait till tomorrow to decide on amputation. My mood is much better after this morning's inspection. It misted all day yesterday and rained a little overnight, so no tilling and no vine covering as yet.
